Google Rolls Out Gemini AI Assistant to Cars with Google Built-In

Google is introducing its Gemini AI assistant to vehicles equipped with "Google built-in," replacing the existing Google Assistant with a more conversational system aimed at enhancing hands-free interaction and driving safety. The rollout begins in the US, initially supporting English, and will reach millions of vehicles, including nearly four million General Motors models from 2022 onwards. Gemini enables natural language queries for navigation, in-car settings, messaging, and entertainment, and will be available via over-the-air updates for existing cars as well as new models.
